Clark Behavioral Health Financing can provide funds for any educational expense you incur for students entering Shelterwood. These funds are sent directly to you. To find out more please go to clarkbhf.com.
Program Cost
Shelterwood’s tuition is $6,000 for the first 30 days, $6,000 for the second 30 days, and $4,800 for every month there after. These fees include the complete cost of our accredited school, therapeutic treatment program, and room and board. Fortunately, 40% of this amount is considered a charitable donation and is tax deductible. The average length of stay is approximately nine to fourteen months, depending on the needs of the teen.
Our program is significantly less expensive than comparable residential programs since a portion of the operating costs are underwritten by generous donations of individuals. Shelterwood has raised additional funds in an effort to provide brand new facilities and is excited about the atmosphere that is provided by our large volunteer staff. The combination of our paid professional staff and the volunteer mentor staff allow us to maintain a ratio of students to staff that is 2 to 1 while the industry standard is closer to 5 to 1.
Personal Expense Account
Due to the length of stay in the program each teen will typically encounter some additional living expenses. Monthly personal expenses for each child vary based on clothing needs, medical and dental expenses, toiletries, and other unforeseen needs. We ask that this personal expense account be maintained at $400 and whatever is spent from that be reimbursed monthly. The parent must approve all expenses as they occur.
Application Fee
A $275 non-refundable application fee is required upon the submission of an application for review. If you would like to receive an application please download the application in PDF form or call (800) 584 5005.
